Please avoid this cast. priv should be a void *, so you can do

       struct usbnet *priv = bus->priv;

       return asix_mdio_read(priv->net, phy_id, regnum);

Really?

ax88172a.c does not check. ax88172_bind() does not
check. ax88772_bind() does not check. As far as i can see, nothing
really cares.

So please add another cleanup patch and make asix_read_phy_addr()
return -ENODEV.

Otherwise, this looks O.K.
